The basic package includes prewritten treatment planning language for one population--either adults, adolescents, children, or clients with addiction problems. Users may purchase additional treatment planning modules for other populations, as well as progress note and homework modules to expand the functionality in their preferred areas.Therapists will find that TE 1.0 saves them time; speeds managed care reimbursement; allows them to create more effective treatment plans; and best of all frees up more time to spend with clients (or to use marketing their practice).
